Why Take a Food Tour in Boston?

Boston is one of the most historically rich and culinarily diverse cities in the United States. A guided food tour is the fastest way to eat like a local, understand the history beneath your feet, and discover the hidden gems that most visitors walk right past. Our guides are locals who know every alley, every kitchen, and every story worth telling — and a few that probably aren't.

Our Boston tours are based in the North End, Boston's oldest neighborhood, located just steps from Faneuil Hall, the Freedom Trail, and the waterfront. All food and stops are within approximately one mile of the meeting point at Boston Public Market.
Our North End Food & History Tour is $89 per person and includes all food tastings plus a 20% tip at each restaurant. Gratuity for your guide and alcohol purchases are not included.
Absolutely — especially in the North End, where the density of great food and layered history is hard to navigate on your own.

No, there is no food provided on the Historical Pub Crawl, and there won’t be enough time to order and eat at any of the stops on the crawl. Please eat before the crawl (perhaps on our food tour!). The pub crawl does end in a location with plenty of food.
